Very pleased with this item. Fitting no problem and used the shoes that came with the cantilever. Braking much improved. Thank you.

Consfor the price, nothing.
ProsGood design, easy set up, good braking performance
These are very good, inexpensive, well designed brakes, and for a cantilever brake easy to set up. Performance with Salmon Kool Stops is equivalent to a V Brake set up. I use these on a 1990s 531 steel framed bike which has a narrow fork crown. I have tried a number of different cantilever brakes on this frame over the years, and nothing I've tried is as good. It's well worth considering buying the Tacx Brake Shoe Tuner TL4580 to get the best set up.

Would you recommend these brakes for a 27" to 700c conversion?

The difference between the two is 4mm i terms of where the brake pads sit. We could not advise a particular brake without test fitting it.

Just to double check, I can use it for both front and rear brake and it includes the straddle linking wire?
The same brake can be front or rear, just swap the blocks over,according to an earlier reply we can confirm that this item does include the straddle wire. RT
Are the front and rear brake sets the same

How Much Vertical Adjustment On Brake Centre
By

Hello,
How much vertical adjustment there is for the distance between the cantilever pivot and the brake block stem? What is the maximum length for this measurement?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi,

This brake has 10mm of adjustment from a length of 22mm to a maximum length of 32mm.

Thanks.
